Chapter 118: 116: Stamping Machine and Blast Furnace (asking for monthly ticket, asking for subscription)
This stamping machine was actually the idea that Loyi had when he invented the magic hammer forging machine.
To put it simply, it is to make molds of various shapes, then put iron ingots into them, and as long as the machine presses them, you can get products of various shapes.
Such as iron pots, helmets, parts, gears, and even armor, protective gear and integrated mechanical skeletons of various specific shapes, etc.
For example, the wheels and rails of the magic train, the beams and chassis of the magic car, etc.
In this way, not only can production efficiency be greatly improved, but also the defective rate can be reduced, and a lot of mechanical problems can definitely be solved.
However, when Lilia tried it later, she found that this was actually unreliable.
The reason is that the red-hot iron ingot also has extremely strong toughness and rigidity, and it cannot be changed into shape by simply pressing it.
You see, the magic hammer forging machine can only hammer one hammer at a time. Even if it is designed to be larger and has a more exaggerated tonnage, it does not mean that it can roll the iron ingot into a ball or flatten it.
That's not the physical property that an iron ingot should have!
Of course, if the iron ingot turns into molten iron, that’s another concept.
For example, by pouring molten iron into a specific mold and waiting for it to cool, enough castings can be obtained.
However, if you want to turn iron ingots, or even iron ore directly, into molten iron, you need a blast furnace and sufficient temperature!
Then, Luo Yi thought of blast furnace steelmaking!
Theoretically speaking, with the Habsburg Empire's annual steel production, it should have already had this technology.
But after Deep Blue searched the database, he found that it really didn’t exist!
The reason is simple. There are a lot of magical materials that support combustion in this world. If the master blacksmiths are familiar with one or two of them, they can make good steel.
There is also a large fire magic circle, which is extremely powerful and has a very high melting point, and can also achieve the effect of melting gold and iron.
However, all of the above mentioned have a huge disadvantage - they cannot be popularized.
In other words, it cannot be mass-produced!
In the industrial field, some laboratory products can even have some incredible effects.
However, as long as it cannot be mass-produced, popularized, or the cost reduced,
Then, it’s not worth much!
Therefore, the blast furnace is actually a very good project, but how to convert the magic energy into high heat and high temperature is a big problem.
However, this is not what Luo Yi is good at, he only needs to provide design concepts and ideas!
With this idea in mind, Luo Yi did not delay and immediately asked Shenlan to retrieve the information, collect ideas, and start drawing there again.
After a busy afternoon, I seem to have a few rough drawings, although I haven't added the magic power control part.
But, it looks decent on the surface!
Roy didn't waste any time. He called Ange and asked him to go to the Philant School of Magic to find Douglas Hill and told him that he would meet him tomorrow.
Then there is Lilia Lightninger, who has been in the Ancient Mage Tower these days. Mainly because the affairs in Auckland City have not been settled yet, he doesn't want her to come back.
If we go there tomorrow, we can pick them all up together.
Just as his thoughts were wandering, Maruna quickly approached and said, "Master Luo Yi, there's a piece of news that has just spread throughout the city!"
Luo Yi looked up and glanced at the sky outside. It was completely dark.
Then, he looked at Maruna, whose face was a little flushed, and asked, "According to the time, you should be at home with your children, but you still came to my place.
So, what news has you so excited?"
"The Emden has arrived at the port. Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, we will hang the great pirate Gis in Fisherman's Harbor!"
This was actually news that had been circulating for a long time, but Luo Yi still couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.
According to the time, the ship should have arrived long ago. Luo Yi thought that either it was delayed by something, or the return time was carefully designed by Lord Dorji.
As for the captain of the Bloody Mary, the sea beast tamer, the great pirate Gis, to be honest, Roy actually has a lot of entanglements with this guy, more or less.
But don't forget, the original body died because of the Bloody Mary Pirates.
Even Luo Yi felt an impulse when he suddenly heard the news.
He looked at Oliveira beside him and said, "Teacher, shall we go and have a look tomorrow?"
Oliveira looked up and asked, "What's so good about a dead person?"
"I just want to see it!"
"Then go!"
"Let's go and see the closing performance of this invincible pirate!"
…
The next day,
Early in the morning, Luo Yi finished his training early and got on the carriage.
Maruna drove the car and took Oliveira and little Angé with them and they set off. Little Angé insisted on going with them, saying that he wanted to see the world, and Oliveira did not refuse.
However, the most eye-catching thing in Fisherman's Harbor today is not some big pirate, but the Emden.
The steel hull emitted a cold light in the morning sunlight. Even though it was ten stories high and not close to Fisherman's Harbor, it was like a mountain, exerting tremendous pressure on people.
There are also three huge chimneys on the ship, emitting billowing heat waves. It is obvious that the operation of the magic energy pool generates huge heat.
And on the bow deck, the imperial navy stood there.
They held magic rifles in their hands, looking down from above, with a natural majesty and contempt.
At the bow, from a distance, the dark and slender gun barrel was thicker than a person's waist, and the magic patterns on it emitted a magical glow.
Even if it was not used, everyone could imagine the scene when this terrifying main gun fired.
Next to the main gun, a white-haired old man stood!
He was wearing the Imperial Navy uniform, blue and white, with a slender figure and eyes like blades. Just standing there, he even gave people the feeling that he was more terrifying than the main gun.
This person is none other than the Imperial Navy Rear Admiral, Captain of the Emden, General Marne Watt.
Of course, he is also a fourth-rank warrior with awakened fire-type fighting spirit, and is nicknamed "Red Dragon Breath".
It is said that the power of his fighting spirit is as hot as the breath of a red dragon.
In comparison, the Gis under the Emden seems very inconspicuous.
He was stripped naked and tied to a cross. His body was covered with wounds and his bronze skin was broken.
Only those eyes are still as fierce as wolves!
Even with its head lowered, it looks like it is ready to choose someone to devour.
Putting aside the hatred, this man can be considered a hero, but he still failed to see his own abilities and strength, which led to his end.
His execution did not cause any waves. He was a magician, not a warrior, and his physique was not very strong.
Therefore, the reins around his neck directly broke his larynx, causing him to breathe out more than breathe in. Even though he was a hero, he was deader than dead.
His death caused huge cheers. The crowded crowd raised their hands high and even cheered the name of the empire.
The white-haired general raised his head slightly, which even as a greeting seemed arrogant and rude.
Of course, the onlookers didn’t actually feel this way, and even thought it was natural.
Only Luo Yi seemed a little unhappy. He turned his head slightly and looked at Oliveira.
Amidst the cheers, he asked, "Teacher, when will you also break through and become a fourth-level master? Then I can have someone to rely on!"
"By then, if you show me your name, no one will dare to mess with me."
Oliveira's cold facial muscles moved, as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't laugh.
But he said seriously, "Wait, wait, with 'God's Sigh', I already feel the opportunity.
However, I would like to refine my fighting spirit a second time, as I think that would be of greater benefit."
Oliveira only talks so much about cultivation.
Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this, then he turned around and asked, "Really?"
"real!"
"Hahahaha, good good good!"
…
After returning from Fisherman's Harbor, Luo Yi was obviously in a very good mood. However, he did not stop, but went straight to the Philante School of Magic without stopping.
Now, he has become Douglas's guest of honor, and the austere Moonstone Mage Tower is like his home, which he can enter and exit freely.
Douglas Hill's mechanical laboratory is also on the sixth floor of the Mage Tower, as if only here can his identity be revealed.
Of course, this place is obviously much larger than Linda's potion laboratory, and it is obvious that the magic circle that extends the space is more advanced.
From the outside, the space on the sixth floor of the spire is not very large.
But when you push the door open, you will see a space of over a thousand square meters. Of course, it looks very crowded because it is covered with lapis lazuli circuits and various gears and parts everywhere.
But you can't touch his things, because even though the things are in a mess, he can still find them himself.
If you say you tried to find it and he can't find it in a hurry, he will scold you.
This was the situation the last time Luo Yi came. A new mage apprentice, a very pretty girl, was scolded so badly that she could hardly raise her head.
It was only because Luo Yi was kind enough to rescue the little girl and pull Douglas away that the matter was finally resolved.
However, Douglas was obviously happy, even excited, that he came to visit today.
Luo Yi knocked on the door, and he opened it directly, pulled Luo Yi in, and laughed loudly, saying, "It's done! It's done! It's really done!"
"Hahahahaha, Roy, I'm going to steal the show in the Imperial Magic Journal this time.
My friend, shouldn't you be happy for me?"
Luo Yi was confused: "What is accomplished? Can you explain it clearly?"
"It's the mechanical button that Muggles can use that you mentioned last time. I made it."
As he said this, he had already pulled Loy to a brand new magic hammer forging machine, and directed a burly blacksmith to start the demonstration.
The blacksmith was straightforward. He picked up a red-hot iron ingot, put it under the hammer, and started smashing it.
When the iron ingot was pulled into a long strip and the hammer could not reach the ingot, the blacksmith naturally turned the knob and adjusted it downward.
It was a very natural movement, but Luo Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
This knob, can even a mortal use it?!
New machinery...
